A refreshing preparation of bhindi and curd, the Dahi Bhendi is a wonderful accompaniment to the main course.
With the soothing flavour of dahi, elevated to just the right level of spiciness by the simple but effective tadka, this Odisha style raita helps to balance the spiciness of other subzis.
It has a very different mouth-feel as it is made of large chunks of bhindi, sautéed with onions and then added to the curd. This method of preparation ensures that the bhindi is not too sticky.
The tadka gives an awesome flavour and aroma to the dahi. The Dahi Bhendi is part of a traditional Odia Thali, and is relished with rice or roti.
